    AI Connect Inc. Redefining healthy living through AI-powered precision wellness. About AI Connect is a Seoul-based health-tech company building HAVIT, a next-generation AI wellness platform that replaces every physical device and human dependency in weight management with pure artificial intelligence. What makes HAVIT different? Traditional weight loss requires expensive body scanners, human coaches, and clinic visits. HAVIT eliminates all of that. Our proprietary AI predicts body composition — body fat %, skeletal muscle mass, visceral fat level — with clinical-grade accuracy, using nothing more than a smartphone survey. No devices. No human coaches. No clinics. Just AI. HAVIT then maps each user to one of 126+ personalized archetypes and delivers science-backed daily missions from a library of 2,000+ behavioral tasks — tailored to body type, lifestyle, medical context, and goals. End-to-end AI care across 33 languages. Why AI Connect? We are AI-native to the core. Every layer of our product is built AI-first, allowing us to move at a speed and quality bar that legacy health-tech cannot match. What used to require dietitians, trainers, and clinic infrastructure, we deliver through a single app — with better personalization, at a fraction of the cost, to anyone in the world. Traction & Team Since founding in 2024: EMW 2025 Global Top 10, Korea-Stanford Venture Forum Entrepreneurship Award, TIPS R&D grant, Invest Seoul CORE 2025, and U.S. subsidiary established.
